what's funny is she has below average vocal talent. she wouldn't win a HS talent show with her voice alone. technology isn't just helping her of course, most "singers" today are signed because of appearance and then they autotune the voice, but she's really bad

point is to make money and she's doing it though. these people can't write their songs, can't perform their songs without the aid of computers yet people eat them up

If the music is good, why does it matter? It may not be your cup of tea but clearly a lot of people like it, and I'm betting not just because of her looks (Personally I don't even think she's attractive)

"I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month."

If that's what people call deep these days then I fear for our generation.

Your shitting me right? Go listen to the Beatles or Rolling Stones. There stuff is not exactly profoundly deep here. Although I will admit alot of Taylors stuff is starting to mix together with the same themes it is still good.

She isn't real country if that's what you mean, but none of the country artists are real country anymore, haven't been for a very long time. Modern country music is just pop with an annoying fabricated twang added to it. It's pretty pathetic but somehow it's insanely popular.

I get catchy music. I find myself defending it a lot actually. I have never found a single one of her songs to be catchy though. It's catchy in the sense that a teen girl hears it and latches on because they think it's the most genious thing they have ever heard.

As for the sales, I wonder if they are taking in to account all of the CD's that several business have been giving away with their product as a promotion. I've seen promotions like this before, but not quite to this extent. Papa John's Pizza is one of them.

Don't diss the Beatles... I'm not a Taylor hater, but surely the Beatles had better lyrics than her.

Hey jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

If Taylor had written it, it'd go something like this:

Hey Jude, you should be ashamed
'Cuz you broke her heart and you used it against her
Oh, now she's crying all her nights away
Maybe you should effing call her

And if you start to feel bad, Hey Judy, don't cry
She'll probably move on before you're even better
And because you know that you're an idiot, for letting her go
And now you'll be in your bed all lonely

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.
